About this episode

The episode discusses the apostle Peter's analogy of craving God's Word like newborn babies crave milk, emphasizing the importance of spiritual nourishment.

Here in 1 Peter, the apostle describes our hunger for God’s Word, and likens it to thirst for milk. However, he encourages us to crave it “like newborn babies.” What’s the difference? While as adults it’s tempting to think of milk as a snack, or something to have on the side at dinner, newborn babies make a whole meal of it!
